I walked for an eternity, it seemed, looking for it. My legs and back ached, from getting no rest since I left for Middle Earth. I had been on the outlook for many suspicious, evil things. Hoping that I could find a way to it by following them. They could feel it's immense power. They would lead a way for me.
I was well armed, just in case I would run into trouble, and the evil things would notice me, or just bare a grudge against me for no reason. Evil can be so unreasonable. I kept two sai on the outside of my long, brown, leather boots, that were kept in place with a horizontal piece of leather about an inch thick and wide, about the middle part of those boots. That way they were no problem to reach for if a fast attach should occur. I wore tight leather around my upper body, and long flexible leather gloves, for more protection. I bore no shield, but a long elven bow on my back, with about 20 arrows to match. I don't know what the inscription said, I was not interested in anything that had to do with elves. I just carried the bow for protection, and because it was dear to me. Nonetheless I had I small, elegantly carved knife that I kept on my belt, and a couple of potions that I stirred up myself.
I enjoyed studying the art of hand-to-hand combat, and of course I considered myself to be good at it. But that was most likely because I came form a small village where either you were a drunk good for nothing bastard, or a thief. There was only one good person that I valued with my life. My mother.
I was hungry and exhausted, so I started snooping around to see if there was anyplace to sleep. I found a small cave that looked more like a rock with a 10-foot deep hole that was about 5 feet high. "Perfect." I said to myself, as I took the throw out of my bag, and unrolled it. I put it on the floor next to the bag, and went to scavenge for a little dinner. It was already dark when I came by a small pool of water. I started looking for fish, when across the lake I saw a couple of figures, I counted 5 small creatures, 4 taller men, and what looked like to be a horse. I figured if there was a horse with bags, there was probably food. I decided to go borrow some. well, borrowing without returning, and without them knowing!
I smiled to myself as I quietly slipped into the water. I swam underwater as fast and shifty as I could, but something told me this wasn't right. I noticed a shadow in the depths of the pool, so I decided to swim as close to the surface as I could to avoid it. I felt a stone being thrown into the water not to far away from me. I froze in panic. *Did they see me?* I waited there for a couple of seconds, and started to get calmer, until the shadow moved. It slow creped up on me, the darkness getting bigger and bigger. I managed to skillfully swim behind it, without it noticing me I felt the water shake, it felt like an earthquake for a second. Then it swam up, revealing large tentacles. It grabbed onto something. I finally came up for air, and I saw the tentacles grabbed someone, two now it had! People were screaming, and two men came with large swords to cut the tentacles. With mighty swings the men cut of tentacles, and one of the hostages fell into the water. While I admired the men wavering the swords around with power, I felt something constrict my ankle. Before I knew it I was thrown into the air with a great force, and swerved all the way over the creatures head. I was finally removed from the grip, resulting in me flying through the air, and finally reaching a point of falling.
I fell hard onto something soft, which broke my fall. Quickly regaining a sense of danger I looked up to see what I had fallen onto. I stared into deep blue eyes. I was hypnotized for a moment when I saw something unpleasant. Pointy ears! "Elf." I growled and jumped off as I reached for my bow and an arrow. He had the same reaction quickly, and in a swift move, both of our arrows were staring each other in the face. To my surprise he shot something behind me, then got up and pulled me into darkness. I heard boulders drop behind me, and it got darker and darker. It was like the sky was tumbling down upon us. It suddenly got quiet, and we stopped running. I thought I heard a sound, and suddenly a light went on.
"Well, well!" said a strange man with a long beard and a pointy hat. "The passage is blocked behind us now, and there is only one way out-on the other side of the mountains. I fear from the sounds that boulders have been piled up, and the trees uprooted and thrown across the gate. I am sorry; for the trees were beautiful, and had stood so long." *Who is he saying sorry to?* I thought to myself, with a confused look on my face. My long braid had fallen over my shoulder onto my chest. I noticed I had a cut on my arm and tossed my braid back, and the loose hair out of my sweaty face. I got a sharp pain in my chest and cried out in pain while I dropped to the ground. The elf tried to help me up, but I shunned him away. "I would rather die then let an elf touch me!" I told him angrily. "Well then allow me to help you." A ranger came out of the dark and reached out his hand to me. " I'm Aragorn, son of Arathorn." He smiled at me. "I will assure you I'm no elf." "No!" A dwarf said. "This woman might be in allegiance with Saruman. She hates elves more then a dwarf." "No," The wizard said, " I deem she is not with the enemy." I let Aragorn help me up while I grabbed hold of my ribs, groaning in pain. "Well just by looking at it I can tell your ribs are bruised, though, I do not know how many." He said. He reached for them with gentle hands. "No!" I told him, and pulled myself away from him. "I'll be fine." "But you need aid!" One of the small guys said. "I have my own remedies." I told him. "But," the small guy said. "Leave her be." The wizard told him, and started walking. The rest followed. "Well?" The wizard said. "Are you coming, or are you not?" He looked at me and game me an old smile. "The exit is on the other side." I decided he was right, and followed them.
